  • Sikh Self-Sacrifice and Religious Representation During World War I
    religions Article Sikh Self-Sacrifice and Religious Representation during World War I John Soboslai Department of Religion, Montclair State University, 1 Normal Ave., Montclair, NJ 07043, USA; [email protected] Received: 5 January 2018; Accepted: 8 February 2018; Published: 10 February 2018 Abstract: This paper analyzes the ways Sikh constructions of sacrifice were created and employed to engender social change in the early twentieth century. Through an examination of letters written by Sikh soldiers serving in the British Indian Army during World War I and contemporary documents from within their global religious, legislative, and economic context, I argue that Sikhs mobilized conceptions of self-sacrifice in two distinct directions, both aiming at procuring greater political recognition and representation. Sikhs living outside the Indian subcontinent encouraged their fellows to rise up and throw off their colonial oppressors by recalling mythic moments of the past and highlighting the plight of colonial subjects of the British Raj. Receiving less discussion are Punjabi Sikhs who fought in British forces during the Great War and who spoke of their potential sacrifice as divinely sanctioned in service to a benevolent state. Both sides utilized religious symbolism in the hope that Sikhs would again enjoy a level of self-rule that had been lost with the arrival of the British Empire. Keywords: Sikhism; World War I; self-sacrifice; imperialism; British Raj When the British Raj gave way to the dual nation-states of India and Pakistan in 1947, the partitioning of the two was determined largely on the basis of religion. Pakistan became the home for the area’s large Muslim population, and India for its Hindus.

  • A Detachment Under Lance-Naik Karam Singh Wasassigned to Guard a Hill Outpost; Lance-Naik Singh's "Detachment" Con
    A detachment under Lance-Naik Karam Singh wasassigned to guard a hill outpost; Lance-Naik Singh’s "detachment" con- sisted of three men and himself. The outpost was well in ad- vance of the major defensive works held by his company; to ....... attack these defences, the Pakistanis had first to attack the outpost. Early in the morning of ~3 October 19482 an attack was launched against Karam Singh’s position. Although outnumbered by ten to one, the defenders drove off the raiders, receiving only one casualty. Again they attacked, killing another of the Indian defenders; Lance-Naik Singh and his sole remaining comrade tenaciously held their ground. It soon became obvious to Lance-Naik that the supply of ammunition was fast running out. He decided to withdraw;although heavily wounded him- self, Singh carried his remaining comrade, who was fatally wounded, toward the main company defensive lines. To reach these lines he had to pass through heavy enemy small arms and light artillery fire. During this withdrawal, he was wouuded several times but managed to destroy two enemy sections with hand grenades .................... Although badly wounded, Lance-Naik Singh, upon reaching friendly lines,immediately joined the platoon which was clo- sest to the ma~u action. Braving heavy fire which again wounded him, Karam Singh moved from position to position, en- couraging the soldiers and keeping them in high spirits. The offensive was beatenoff. The enemy almost immediately mottuted a fifth offensive. Karam Singh noticed thattwo raiders were quickly advancing through the Indian crawl trenches; there was no time for him to engage them with fire, and he ran forward, bayonetted both the attackers and returned to his o~n lines.
